VGT's are not really that expensive in Europe since the large majority of diesel engines here have them. So I can easily find a wrecked car and buy a turbo
VGT is definitely much less restrictive on the exhaust.
It's not the VGT, it's getting the vanes to work properly. How are you going to control them? Also keep in mind, a VGT might not be able to "open up" as much as a bypass valve can, and you want to bypass the turbo as much as possible for efficiency.
